I met the featured actress Tara Sweatt in acting class many years ago. Not only is she easy on the eyes, she has a degree in Communications from the University of Southern California. You may remember her playing Devon in Blue Crush or on numerous episodes of Baywatch Hawaii. Either show, if you missed her, get your eyes checked. Tara made her film debut in Gone to Maui with Pat Morita and the Maui mayor himself, James Kimo Apana. An all-around athlete she captured the Nor-Cal age group title as a BMX racer as a teen. Has a brand new website at http://www.tarasweatt.com, if you want to hire her she’s repped by More Models. Catch her on the MTV show Dodgeball or surfing on the North Shore…
